The hotel offers convenient room access surrounded by pool water, which is great for pool lovers. However, there were no amenities provided in the room. The service felt like a holiday experience, but there was a disappointing incident with a soiled towel. The location is ideal for short stays and families, close to shopping centers and attractions. The dining experience was average, with room for improvement. Overall, the facility provides a good experience with some hiccups to consider.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially when we needed to change rooms due to strong deodorizer. The location was convenient, right next to a large shopping center, although more loungers and umbrellas would have been great. The dining experience was a bit disappointing, with limited options, but they made up for it with self-service food choices. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms with easy access to common areas but lacks basic provisions like tea bags and cleaning supplies. The service was a mixed experience with quick issue resolution but also incidents like poo on towels. The location is convenient for shopping and dining but may require driving. The dining options were disappointing, with limited choices and disturbances, yet the Korean food stood out. The hotel facilities are average.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, were not ready for check-in at 2 o'clock, which was a bit frustrating as we had made afternoon plans. They did smell strongly of cleaning products, but overall, they were decent. Service varied from unfriendly at check-in to exceptionally helpful and friendly throughout the stay. The location was convenient to shopping centres and beaches, with a mall nearby. The dining options left something to be desired, being overcrowded and with limited choices. Despite some hiccups, the hotel offered good facilities and amenities.
